Turn a photo of your notes into flashcards
Most notes still start on paper. Take a picture of the page, and AugStudy reads the writing off it, handwriting included, and makes a deck from what it finds.
How it works
Take a photo
Start a new deck and choose Photo. Pick one picture or a whole stack of them.
Read it over
The text from each photo goes into the notes box. Fix any word it misread.
Get the deck
Flashcards are written from the text, and the deck is ready for quizzes and review.
Handwriting and printed pages
The reader is built for notes: it keeps equations, formulas, units and symbols the way you wrote them. A photo with nothing to read, like a diagram on its own, comes back as no text rather than a guess.
Smaller and private on the way out
Photos are shrunk on your phone before they are sent, which helps on slow school wifi. Resizing also strips the location data phones attach to pictures. The image is read and then discarded; only the text you keep is saved.
Scanned PDFs too
If a PDF is really pictures of pages, the PDF upload will say there is no text. Screenshot or photograph those pages and use Photo instead.
Questions
What image types work?
JPEG, PNG and WebP, which covers screenshots and most phone photos. Each one is converted on your device before it is sent.
Is there a limit?
There is a daily limit on photos read, set high enough that scanning a full binder should not reach it.
What if my handwriting is messy?
It reads more than you would expect, but check the notes box before making the deck and fix anything it got wrong.
